I leaned forward and asked softly: "What's wrong with Erlang?"
Lao Duoji put his index finger to his lips, made a silent gesture towards me, and then pointed to the other side of the corner.
I understood and hurriedly closed my mouth, then lowered my body very low, carefully stuck half of my head out of the corner, and looked to the other side.
I saw that the other place around the corner was brightly lit, and dozens of torches illuminated it like daylight.
On the other side of the corner is a stone door. The stone door is not closed, but is half open.
Through the stone door, you can clearly see a large room inside, with three coffins placed inside.
A solid gold coffin.
However, these seven pure gold coffins are not the same as what we usually see. Instead, they are somewhat similar to the human-shaped coffins used when pharaohs were buried in ancient Egypt.
However, the shapes of these seven human-shaped coffins are very strange.
Each one of them has a big head and a thin neck, small eyes and a wide mouth like a bucket. In fact, these are just okay. The weirdest thing is that in the middle of each of their foreheads, there is an abnormal horn the size of an egg. .
In addition, I looked carefully. Although I couldn't see clearly from my angle, I always felt that the appearance of these seven human-shaped coffins was exactly the same.
And beside these seven coffins, there were five people standing at this time.
One of them is Professor Li.
Professor Li looked at the human-shaped coffin in front of him with a solemn expression. There was a trace of blood on his face, and he was obviously injured.
In fact, not only Professor Li, I can see that there is no one who is not unworthy.
There was an older white man sitting in the corner, covering his chest with one hand, breathing heavily. But even so, there were still large amounts of blood gushing out.
No need to ask, it was probably because they had encountered a lot of trouble before.
But then a question came to my mind, "What on earth could cause such a big trouble to them who are so well-equipped?"
I looked sideways for a while, fearing that Professor Li and the others would find out if the time went on, so I quietly withdrew.
Old Dorje didn't look, but he seemed to know where the corner was.
Lao Duoji looked at me and asked softly: "Have you seen them?"
I nodded and said, "I saw it! Where is this place? Why are there seven identical human-shaped coffins? They risked their lives to come here just for these seven human-shaped coffins?"
Old Dorje nodded and said, "That's right! To be precise, they are here for one of the seven coffins."
I looked at Lao Duoji and said, "You mean the Seven-Star Suspicious Coffin?"
Lao Duoji seemed a little surprised by my answer. He was slightly startled before he said, "Do you know about the Seven-Star Suspicious Coffin?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know very well. I just know that an ancient tomb from the Ming Dynasty was unearthed in Guangxi in 2003, and there were seven coffins similar to this one. It is said that the Seven-Star Suspicious Coffin is based on the seven stars of Tiangang and the Big Dipper. According to the arrangement of the stars, only one of the seven coffins is the real owner of the tomb, and the remaining six coffins all hide fatal mechanisms. But no matter how you say, there are ancient tombs everywhere, and this place is... "
Old Dorje looked at me and said, "What is this place?"
I said, "This is a temple! How could there be such seven coffins in such a safe place?"
Before Lao Duoji could reply, suddenly a scream came from the room behind the stone door.
Hearing this sound, Lao Duoji and I couldn't help but poke our heads out at the same time.
I saw that one of the seven coffins behind the stone door had been opened, and a man with only half of his body was lying not far in front of the coffin, and his upper body had no idea where to go at this time.
The other four people in the room were leaning against the wall, their eyes widened, as if something extremely terrifying had happened before.
Professor Li looked at the coffin in front of him, then at the notes in his hand, and kept saying: "Impossible! Impossible! How could this be? Why? Why is it wrong?"
When I saw this, I asked Old Dorji in a deep voice, "Mr. Dorji, what are they looking for? What is in this human-shaped coffin?"
Lao Duoji lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever heard of a name called Yang Lian Zhenjia?"
When I heard this name, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Although I am not very familiar with Buddhism, I still know something about this person. After all, this person can be regarded as one of our eight thieves.
Speaking of which, I think it is necessary to mention one more thing about Yanglian Zhenjia.
Yang Lianzhenjia was originally a party member, and he was not a wild monk with a random name. He passed on the orthodox system of Tibetan Buddhism and was a direct disciple of the eminent Tibetan monk Pasiba Dishi. However, he was appreciated by Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty. He admired his tomb robbing skills, so he was given the position of Jiangnan Chief Photographer, but his main task was to rob the imperial tomb.
According to the records in "Historical Records of the Yuan Dynasty: The Benji of Shizu", "There is one tomb out of every hundred, and four people were killed." This is a detailed record of his tomb robbery, which was very rampant and brutal. According to historical records, he once robbed a large number of tombs. The tombs include the imperial mausoleums of the Southern Song Dynasty. He has visited the tombs of various emperors, as well as the tombs of the empress and the tombs of high-ranking officials such as Marquis Gongsun. It can be said that he has gained a lot.
At that time, Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, loved Yang Liazhenjia very much and appointed him as the chief photographer of Jiangnan, in charge of Buddhist affairs in Jiangnan. With the tacit approval of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he began his lawless tomb robbing behavior; with the support of Prime Minister Sang Ge, Yang Liazhenjia and Monk Yunze of Yanfu Temple and others stole the tombs of Song Dynasty emperors in Qiantang and Shaoxing. Among them, the Six Tombs in Jiangnan were the most harmed, especially the tomb of Song Lizong Zhao Yun. Yang Liazhenjia and others threatened the tomb guards with knives. The envoys forced the mausoleum envoys to give way. As soon as the tomb door opened, thieves rushed in and the treasures in the tomb were looted. They just robbed the tomb. What is outrageous is that they also opened the lid of Lizong's coffin and found the gold in the coffin. They looted all the silver and jewelry, destroyed Lizong's body, pried out the luminous pearl in Lizong's mouth, hung Lizong upside down, and drained out the mercury that protected the body from decay. Finally, these abominable thieves threw Lizong's body to the In the wilderness, people and gods are really angry!
The most detestable thing is that Yang Lianzhenjia came back and made Lizong's head into a drinking vessel. As a result, Lizong's head had been living among the grassland tribes of the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of years. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang snatched back the drinking vessel made from his head and held a grand ceremony to put it away. After solemnly welcoming him back to the Central Plains and burying him with royal courtesy, Lizong could finally go home and rest in peace.
Since ancient times, those who do unrighteousness will surely die. Yang Liazhenjia also received retribution. After he used his power to rob tombs crazily, although he was not sanctioned by the law, he had God's will. Because he often came into contact with corpses, his body was gradually infected with corpse poison. After a few years, his hands began to ulcerate, and the corpse poison slowly spread to his heart. No amount of gold and silver could replace this. Finally died.
As for the story of Yang Lian Zhenjia, anyone who is in the stealing sect will know a little bit about it.
But why did Lao Duoji mention him so well?
Could it be...?
Suddenly an idea popped up in my head, and I couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Could this be...?"
Before I continued, Lao Duoji nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are right. This is not actually a temple. This is actually the tomb of Yang Lian Zhenjia."
Lao Duoji paused for a moment when he said this. He looked at the people in the stone gate and seemed to think of something. After a while, he continued: "This Yang Lian Zhenjia has been robbing doors all his life, but he was worried that his tomb would be stolen after his death, so he simply buried himself. In the ancient temple. I even made several golden human-shaped coffins in my own tomb to prevent the fellow robber Captain Mojin from knocking him out."
"But..." I said, "But why did those people want to steal Yang Lian Zhenjia's tomb? Is there any treasure hidden in his coffin?"
Lao Duoji shook his head and said: "The most valuable thing in Yang Lian Zhenjia's coffin is not the so-called treasure."
I asked curiously: "What is that?"
Lao Duoji said: "The most valuable thing in Yang Lian Zhenjia's coffin... is actually him!"
I was shocked when I heard this and said, "What? Are you saying that what they are looking for is not some rare treasure, but the body of Yanglian Zhenjia?"
